3 POSTAL BULLETIN 21895, , PAGE 3 Two New Consumer Publications Now Available The Postal Inspection Service has produced two new publications that postmasters are encouraged to order from the material distribution centers. The first, Publication 546, Sweepstakes Advertising, describes the differences between sweepstakes promotions, premium promotions, and lotteries. It also tells consumers how to determine when a sweepstakes promotion is likely to be fraudulent. The second, Publication 548, Mail Fraud Targets Young Consumers, warns secondary school age consumers of the various mail fraud schemes that target young consumers, such as work-at-home schemes and credit card and advance fee loan scams. The brochure contains valuable tips for recognizing and avoiding fraudulent schemes and lists hot line phone numbers for the Inspection Service and the National Consumer s League. Inspection Service, Selective Service System Registration Program The U.S. Postal Service and the Selective Service System (SSS) have an interagency agreement whereby the Postal Service agrees to administer Selective Service registrations at all classified post offices, stations, and branches.

SSS reimburses the Postal Service for its participation in this program. The SSS Form 6, Transmittal Sheet, is mailed directly to post offices from the Selective Service office.

To enforce this action, the following restrictive endorsement is being placed in bold red lettering on the lower right face and in black ink on the reverse of all domestic postal money orders: NEGOTIABLE ONLY IN THE U.S. AND POSSESSIONS Domestic money orders bearing this restrictive endorsement will be available for sale after June 15, You may use existing supplies of the current domestic money orders until supplies are exhausted. In anticipation of changing sales patterns resulting from this action, all retail clerks should maintain a supply of the pink international postal money order form (MP1) and the authorization to issue an international money order form set. If operational conditions dictate, offices are permitted to break packages of the pink international postal money POSTAL BULLETIN orders and individually assign them to retail clerks. A record detailing which serial numbers have been assigned to each clerk must be maintained. Lobby posters advertising that domestic postal money orders will be honored only domestically are being prepared in English and Spanish, and will be disseminated to all offices. In addition, a notice will be placed on the Postal Vision system. Retail clerks are not required to inquire of postal customers at the point of sale as to whether they will be sending domestic money orders to foreign countries; however, if clerks have reason to believe that customers intend to send funds to a foreign country, they should direct the customers attention to the lobby posters. The domestic and international banking systems have been notified of the Postal Service s policy regarding domestic money orders. International banks have also been notified that if they accept domestic postal money orders bearing the restrictive endorsement the Postal Service will initiate charge back action.

41 POSTAL BULLETIN 21895, , PAGE 41 NOTICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES C, F, and G Fund Monthly Returns Released May 15, 1995 MONTHS C F G 1989 JAN. DEC. % * * MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL LAST 12 MONTHS *Through 1990 the F Fund was invested in the Wells Fargo Bond Index Fund. The C Fund is invested in the Wells Fargo Equity Index Fund, which tracks the S&P 500 stock index. The F Fund is invested in the Wells Fargo U.S. Debt Index Fund, which tracks the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond index. The G Fund is invested in special issues of U.S. Treasury securities. The monthly C, F, and G Fund returns represent net earnings for the month, after deduction of accrued administrative expenses. The C and F Fund returns also reflect the deduction of trading costs and accrued investment management fees. The C, F, and G Fund monthly returns are dollar-weighted: they reflect net earnings on the changing balances invested during the month. The C, F, and G Fund returns for the last 12 months assume, except for the crediting of earnings, unchanging balances (time-weighting) from month to month and assume that earnings are compounded on a monthly basis. The C and F Fund returns vary from Wells Fargo returns because of C and F Fund expenses and changing balances in the C and F Funds. Future performance of the three funds will vary and may be significantly different from the returns shown above. See the Summary of the Thrift Savings Plan for detailed information about the funds and their investment risks.
